Right now I'm learning about constructions of occurences and I have a quesitions about some fact.
Let's assume someone asks you if you could help him. And he says the following (excerpt from the course):
Если, конечно, ты располагаешь свободным временем.
My question is, is располагаешь mandatory here or can I, for example, also form the following?
Если у тебя есть свободное время.
располагать
means to have
and for me it is the same as у xxx есть
. I know I must use this располагать
because the course says so, but concurrently I often here people say У меня нет времени сейчас.
So why do they not use: Я не располагаю временем сейчас.
Appreciating your response!
располагаешь свободным временем
